Overview

The UG-120 user guide provides instructions for the ADM3251E evaluation board, a 2-layer PCB designed for testing the ADM3251E RS-232 transceiver. The ADM3251E features 2.5 kV fully isolated power and data, operating from a 5 V supply. The board includes screw terminal blocks for power and signal connections, test points for all signals, and a patchwork area for through-hole components. The document provides the full evaluation board schematic, printed circuit board layout, and a complete bill of materials including the ADM3251EARWZ transceiver.

Use Cases

  • Isolated RS-232 communication
  • High voltage signal protection
  • Industrial serial interface evaluation
  • Integrated power and data isolation testing
